Today we went for our next gyneacology appointment. We got the blood test results back from last time we were there and everything looked good. Also my thyroid levels were within range, so that is good for little junior since he/she is still dependend on my hormone levels.
The gyno also confussed the antibodies, which I already suspected. I indeed have TPO antibodies which corresponds with my slow thyroid and not TSI antibodies which people with a fast thyroid have. The TSI antibodies can eventually harm the baby by fastening its heartbeat. The gyno scared us last time by mentioning the baby has to go into an incubater right after delivery. Now that I have the TPO antibodies this is not necessary. I don't even have to stay at the hospital and could switch to a midwife. I don't have a serious medical indication anymore. Jippie!!
As a bonus we got another ultrasound. The doctor couldn't find the heartbeat with the microphone, so he used the ultrasound for it. We got to see junior again who was lively. It was really cute as he/she jumped from one side to the next as the doctor was poking around on my uterus. Sounds definetly like Sean junior.....
The heartbeat was strong and present so all according to plan!
I am really releived that the first trimester went so well and that my thyroid is under control and not as big of an issue as we originally thought.
